Summary

Adds LiteLLM as an optional LLM provider. A LiteLLM proxy is OpenAI-wire-compatible, so LiteLlmProvider wraps the existing OpenAiProvider transport unchanged and lets webclaw reach 100+ upstream models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Vertex AI, Azure, and more) through one endpoint with centralized keys.

Changes

  • crates/webclaw-llm/src/providers/litellm.rs: new LiteLlmProvider (wraps OpenAiProvider; env LITELLM_API_KEY / LITELLM_BASE_URL default http://localhost:4000/v1 / LITELLM_MODEL default gpt-4o-mini). Same shape as orcarouter.rs.
  • crates/webclaw-llm/src/providers/mod.rs: register module.
  • crates/webclaw-llm/src/chain.rs: add to the default chain, opt-in, appended last (only when LITELLM_API_KEY is set).
  • crates/webclaw-cli/src/main.rs: --llm-provider litellm dispatch + help / error text.
  • env.example, README.md, CHANGELOG.md: document the new provider and its env vars.

Tests

1. Unit tests (cargo test -p webclaw-llm, RUSTFLAGS=--cfg reqwest_unstable):

test providers::litellm::tests::empty_key_returns_none ... ok
test providers::litellm::tests::explicit_key_constructs_with_litellm_defaults ... ok
test providers::litellm::tests::explicit_model_override ... ok
...
test result: ok. 65 passed; 0 failed; 7 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

3. Live end-to-end through the actual CLI binary (not just the proxy endpoint), routing a real LLM call through LiteLLM:


$ LITELLM_API_KEY=*** LITELLM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:4000/v1 \
    webclaw --file t.html \
      --extract-prompt "..." --llm-provider litellm --llm-model gpt-4.1-mini
{
  "plans": [
    { "name": "Pro", "price": 42, "currency": "dollars", "period": "month" }
  ]
}

The forced --llm-provider litellm path constructs LiteLlmProvider, calls complete() against the LiteLLM proxy (gpt-4.1-mini upstream), and webclaw parses the structured JSON back. This exercises the full chain end to end through the real binary.

Example usage

# Point webclaw at a LiteLLM proxy (litellm --config config.yaml, default :4000)
export LITELLM_API_KEY=sk-your-proxy-key
export LITELLM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:4000/v1

# Auto (opt-in, added last in the chain):
webclaw https://example.com --extract-prompt "Get all pricing tiers"

# Or force it explicitly:
webclaw https://example.com --llm-provider litellm --llm-model your-model --summarize

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional LiteLLM gateway support for extraction and summarization.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an optional LiteLlmProvider backed by an OpenAI-compatible LiteLLM proxy. The provider reads environment configuration, joins the default chain as the final fallback, and is exposed through CLI validation and project documentation.

Changes

LiteLLM provider integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
LiteLLM provider implementation
crates/webclaw-llm/src/providers/mod.rs, crates/webclaw-llm/src/providers/litellm.rs
Adds LiteLlmProvider, which wraps OpenAiProvider, supports API key, base URL, and model overrides, and includes unit tests.
Default provider-chain integration
crates/webclaw-llm/src/chain.rs
Adds LiteLLM as the final optional provider when LITELLM_API_KEY is configured.
CLI and configuration wiring
crates/webclaw-cli/src/main.rs, env.example, README.md, CHANGELOG.md
Adds litellm to CLI provider selection and documents LiteLLM configuration and availability.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 34542

This change adds an optional LiteLLM provider and configurable proxy endpoint. It is mergeable with owner awareness that non-loopback HTTP configuration could expose the API key and that one unit test may be nondeterministic in environments defining LITELLM_MODEL.

In `@CHANGELOG.md`:
- Line 9: Rewrite the LiteLLM changelog entry in generic user-facing terms,
focusing on the ability to use a self-hosted gateway for extraction and
summarization. Remove internal implementation details such as “provider chain”
and “OpenAI-compatible,” while retaining LITELLM_API_KEY only as the user-facing
opt-in configuration.

In `@crates/webclaw-llm/src/providers/litellm.rs`:
- Around line 67-70: Isolate the default-model assertions in the LiteLlmProvider
test from the LITELLM_MODEL environment variable by clearing or otherwise
controlling that variable before calling LiteLlmProvider::new with None. Keep
the expected gpt-4o-mini assertion deterministic, and leave
environment-precedence coverage to a separate test if needed.
- Around line 26-28: Update the LiteLLM base URL resolution in OpenAiProvider to
validate the selected endpoint scheme and host: permit HTTP only for loopback
addresses, require HTTPS for all other endpoints, and reject invalid or
noncompliant URLs before sending Authorization headers.

Apply the same fix in `@crates/webclaw-llm/src/chain.rs` around lines 79 - 81: The
fallback chain can activate the same credential-bearing endpoint after earlier
providers fail.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 374-375: Update the README configuration table to document
LITELLM_MODEL and specify its default value as gpt-4o-mini, alongside the
existing LITELLM_API_KEY and LITELLM_BASE_URL entries.

Require HTTPS for non-loopback LiteLLM endpoints.

LITELLM_API_KEY is sent as a bearer credential to the configured base URL without scheme or host validation. Reject remote http:// endpoints, allow cleartext only for loopback use, and prevent redirects from downgrading transport or forwarding credentials across hosts. This also applies when LiteLLM is reached through the automatic fallback path.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Isolate the default-model test from environment variables.

LiteLlmProvider::new(..., None, None) reads LITELLM_MODEL. When that variable is set, the test expects gpt-4o-mini but receives the environment value. Clear or isolate the environment before this test, or pass the default explicitly and test environment precedence separately.
